Abstract

CO2 and heat fluxes of the mangrove forest in Thailand are investigated based on observation during a dry season. Clear diurnal change was seen in the sensible heat flux. There was a large amount of latent heat flux even at night. The latent heat flux was larger than the sensible heat flux. CO2 flux changed sign between day and night. The magnitude of the upward flux during nighttime and the downward flux during daytime was about the same, which is considerably different from the flux characteristics during the wet season.
